ABOUT KATHY ORTIZ

Katherine Ortiz, a Real Estate Paralegal and Real Estate Title Agent has successfully closed over $1 billion in real estate transactions since 1997, both commercial and residential. Katherine has approximately 20 years of experience in working with Lenders, Buyers, Sellers, Realtors, Mortgage Brokers and Attorneys toward clearing title for closing. She is one of the best in her field and continues to provide five-star, first-class service to ensure that her client’s interest is protected and most importantly that the closing of real estate is a success. There are no obstacles, no matter how big or small, that she cannot overcome to ensure that her client’s interest remains protected. As a title closing agent, Katherine plays a key role in finalizing real estate and mortgage transactions. She is responsible for making sure that the titles in transactions are legitimate and pose no problems for their clients; any problems with the title need to be highlighted by the agent. Additionally, Katherine must look over all the contracts involved in the transaction to ensure they are accurate and appropriate. She also collects money for the transaction (including escrow deposits), handle closing documents, and get all relevant parties to sign the appropriate papers when it is time to close. Closing transactions generally take place at the agent’s office but most cash buyers prefer to close electronically. As the title agent, Katherine ensures the accuracy of all monetary transactions on the settlement, such as loan outlines, how much the seller will receive, taxes, and other fees. Accuracy is essential for Katherine as she must ensure all documents are legal and correct. Katherine also adds to the positive reputation of the law firm. Katherine completed the Paralegal program at Florida International University in 2004 and has since been a Certified Real Estate Paralegal in the South Florida area.
